jokes aside, it’s just not a really attractive title.

I’ve played 48 hours in one of the games in there, Traveller’s Rest, about running a tavern. It has money, supply, employees, trends etc. But I’m not enjoying it because Yay Capitalism! It’s because when you’re running your own cute shop with virtual money it’s fun. I do like the genre, but being reminded of the systems that are causing a lot of real world shit is just a bad title.

But I guess “Business Sim Sale” wasn’t flashy enough.

why thank ya 🍝

I, too, love factory making and optimization!

…yeah…

I just got into gemini! Sorta, just have a gemlog on gemlog.blue. I have to remember the early internet days where you just had to go from link to link to find interesting pages and check them again at my own will, but it is a nice little break from the everything that is the modern internet.

At least for reddit, spez used saying it isn’t currently profitable as a pity point in the ama today.

Same for me, about a decade ago this was already a thriving piracy area. My professors were about 80/20. It may be because it’s an art college, about 80% of the time they said a version or two behind would be fine, which a previous version loses all value when a new one comes out so you can get it cheap off amazon. 20% were hard asses that said you HAVE to have the newest version and you HAVE to get it before classes start and can’t compromise with them. I can’t imagine my rage if I would have had some of those new “pay $80 to access your math book & coursework that expires after the class” that were starting to happen.
